The Windows Installer is a software componentused for the installation, maintenance, and removal of software onmodern Microsoft Windows systems. The installation information, andoften the files themselves, are packaged in installation packages,loosely relational databases structured as COM Structured Storagesand commonly known as “MSI files”, from their default fileextension. Windows Installer contains significant changes from itspredecessor, Setup API. New features include a GUI framework andautomatic generation of the uninstallation sequence.
Microsoft Windows Installer is a redistributable systemcomponent that enables software developers to enjoy the benefits ofa better application deployment. It provides the backbone forinstalling and uninstalling software on the operating system.
One of the most important capabilities of Windows Installer isMultiple Package Transaction. It uses a chainer to integratepackages in a transaction with multiple components. So in case notall packages are successfully installed or you choose to cancel theinstallation process, Windows Installer can roll back all thechanges and restore the operating system to its original state.
In addition to that, you do not have to install packages one by oneand reboot the machine after each installation. Windows Installerdoes that in a single transaction that integrates the installationprogress, rollback and reboot.
When it comes to patching an application, Windows Installer onlyupdates the files affected by the patch, thus reducing the patchingtime. If you choose to uninstall a patch, you can do thatregardless of the order the other patches were installed, andrevert the software to the state before the patching occurred.
The Embeded UI Handler is another feature provided by WindowsInstaller. It allows you to integrate a custom user interfacehandler in the installer package that can be invoked using the Addor Remove Programs applet in the Control Panel or during a productrepair process.
Moreover, Microsoft Windows Installer makes it possible for anupdated component to be available to all products using it (enableinstallation events across multiple packages). Last but not least,setup developers can use Windows Installer to develop singleinstallation packages capable of installing an application ineither a per-machine or a per-user installation context.
